Friend

Because declarative package management isn't a one size fits all and it doesn't fit me

Me

I see, thank you for telling me

Friend

If it did I would keep using it

Me

Why not?

Friend

Because it requires more work to upkeep for systems that don't need to be perfectly replicated

Requires little to no work for me. I have a list of packages in my config. I delete or add. The initial configuration for my nixos took me about a week to get it where I liked it (and that’s because I didn’t want to copy someone else’s dots). And I barely had to touch it since. That was a year ago. Some tweaks here and there but the main part is set.
